Cambodia Hotel Selection

The choice of hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap is endless and those detailed below are recommendations only. We can book most hotels throughout Cambodia, so please contact us if you would like alternative hotels.

PHNOM PENH
An excellent standard hotel, in a peaceful area close to the river, park and Wat Phnom, the Sunway is a good base for a stay in Phnom Penh as it is accessible to many sights and to the restaurants along Sisowath Quay. The standard of facilities and service is international, but the welcome is Khmer.

At the heart of Phnom Penh is the luxury boutique hotel, the Amanjaya, which combines the highest standards of comfort with traditional Khmer décor. The 21 rooms are all beautifully decorated and all have a balcony or terrace overlooking the river. It is an oasis of tranquility at the heart of the busy city and within walking distance of the major sights and a huge choice of restaurants.

 

SIHANOUKVILLE

The family-run Seaside Hotel is located right across the road from sandy Ochhoeteal beach on the edge of town and is popular with weekenders from Phnom Penh. The exterior resembles a pagoda and the rooms are modern and comfortable. As well as being ideal for the beach there are several excellent seafood restaurants within walking distance and it is possible to hire a boat to reach the small offshore islands.

The superior standard Sokha Beach Resort, built in low-rise Khmer style, has its own private beach and landscaped gardens and is the best hotel in town. All rooms have wooden floors and have their own balcony. An ideal place to relax or explore the nearby islands or Ream National Park. 

KAMPOT
 This charming riverine town is not well served with hotel accommodation and the town centre Hotel Borei Bokor offers simple rooms, all with air conditioning and private bathroom and friendly service. It is located close to the river and within walking distance of the few restaurants in town. 
BANLUNG
Accommodation is limited in remote Banlung, so we recommend the Terres Rouges Lodge, a wooden traditional house with a huge terrace overlooking the garden and lake, once the residence of the governor of the province. The rooms have a fan and private bathroom and the lodge is decorated with Khmer artefacts and memorabilia from French colonial times. 
SIEM REAP
Located at the heart of Siem Reap, the Day Inn Angkor Resort is popular with visitors to the town and temples. All the rooms have their own balcony overlooking the delightful garden and swimming pool and the rooms are large, stylish and bright.
Part of a small chain of French hotels, the Victoria Angkor is centrally located opposite the Royal Gardens with tastefully furnished rooms with classic furniture and wooden floors. All rooms have a balcony overlooking the hotel gardens and swimming pool.
